Athletic Therapy in Airdrie: Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be an athlete to see an Athletic Therapist?
No. Athletic Therapy is for athletes and non-athletes. We work with people experiencing injuries, persistent pain, movement limitations, recurring problems, or those looking to improve how they move and perform.
What happens at my first Athletic Therapy appointment?
We start by understanding your concerns, injury and health history, goals, lifestyle and what you've already tried. Your therapist may assess your movement, range of motion, strength and other factors relevant to your symptoms. Treatment may begin during the first visit when appropriate, followed by a clear plan for what comes next.
Do I need a doctor's referral for Athletic Therapy?
No. You can book directly with a Certified Athletic Therapist at Revival. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for reimbursement, so check your individual benefits.
Is Athletic Therapy covered by insurance?
Many extended health plans reimburse Athletic Therapy, but every plan is different. Athletic Therapy is not always clearly listed in benefit booklets, so we recommend confirming your specific coverage with your provider.
Does Revival direct bill Athletic Therapy?
Regular Athletic Therapy appointments are generally paid at the clinic and submitted to your insurer for reimbursement. Approved MVA claims may be direct billed once written authorization is received. WCB coverage is assessed based on the individual claim.
What can an Athletic Therapist help with?
Back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle concerns, chronic pain, concussions, sports injuries, sprains and strains, persistent or recurring pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, movement limitations, injury prevention and performance goals.
How many Athletic Therapy appointments will I need?
There isn't one number for everyone. Your therapist will recommend a plan based on your condition, how long it has been present, your goals, assessment findings and how you respond to care.
